JALAPENO & POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the margarine in large pot and saute chopped onions on medium heat. While they're sauteeing, start peeling cutting up your potatoes.
• Once the onions have turned clear, add the potatoes, chicken broth, and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to cook until they soften enough to eat (about 20 minutes).
• After the potatoes have cooked, remove the pot from the heat and add the chopped jalapeños, a pinch of baking soda, and the evaporated milk.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (or a large fork if you don't have a potato masher) while they're still in the pot. Stir thoroughly and add the salt and pepper.
• Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
• *2 tbsp of jalapeno is spicy, adjust more or less to your taste. I have used both fresh and canned jalapenos, fresh does give a better flavor, but canned works perfectly fine. I do think canned gives a bit more spice though!

• 2. Add the shallots, celery, carrots, jalapeno, stir and cook until soft, then add the sweet potatoes, cook and stir five minutes. Add the cumin and nutmeg.
• 3. Add chicken broth, and make sure it just covers the potatoes. If it doesn't, add some more.
• 4. Let the mixture come to a boil, then cover and turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are tender. (45 minutes to an hour)
• 5. Puree the soup in batches in a blender until creamy. WARNING: Do small batches in the blender ON LOW to avoid burning yourself! The hot liquid jumps up and can overflow on high. Put the pureed soup in a pan as you finish each batch, then transfer the mixture back to the dutch oven. Heat, the soup, add the peanut butter to it and mix well. Then add the heavy cream and mix again. Heat the soup until it is hot, but don't boil it. Serve immediately with my hot French rolls (this site) and butter. Add hot sauce to the soup if desired. Enjoy!
